Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 unit Egg, large
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Shortening
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 1.5 cups Marshmallow fluff
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops spring back lightly when touched. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, beat the shortening and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Mix in the marshmallow fluff, vanilla extract, and milk, and continue beating until the filling is light and creamy.

Step 10

To assemble the whoopie pies, spread or pipe a generous amount of filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling until all the whoopie pies are assembled.

Step 12

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
